  • JQuery and Angular tutorials.
  • Smoked a brisket. Looked up Traeger and Yoder grills. There are some awesome smokes (and pellets) out there. Would like to upgrade at some point in the future.
  • Survey of Python devs in 2018: https://www.jetbrains.com/research/python-developers-survey-2018/.
    • Webdev, machine learning, data analysis, all expected.
    • 84% on py3, only 16% on 2. Surprised by this.
    • Flask beat out Django! 47% to 45%.
    • Pytest beat unittest.
    • PostgreSQL beat MySQL and SQLite.
    • Ansible beat Puppet.
    • Jenkins beat Gitlab, Travis, and Bamboo (which was only 3%).
  • A piece of sx-setuptools that Spencer outsourced! https://github.com/sputt/qer.
  • Remember, AJAX isn’t a language. It’s primarily just the use of an XMLHttpRequest object to retrieve new data asynchronously, allowing you to refresh a portion of a page without reloading the whole site. It usually is registered as an onclick function, fetches data, then updates elements in the current dom as needed.
